I think the last 10 years has been too good to last, at least when it came to interest rates.
What I don't think a lot are anticipating, is this is going to release a torrent wave of shit in about a year or twos time. Imagine all those Vancouver/Toronto folks having to renew at like 6 or 7%. It's going to wipe a lot of people out. Even the pandemic buyers are probably only a couple years out from their renewals. Hopefully some panic selling takes place to cool off a lot of the markets they pumped up.
